The hand rehabilitation exoskeleton is a reliable mode for rehabilitation physiotherapy by wearing the hand rehabilitation exoskeleton for helping hand dyskinesia patients such as the old, cerebral apoplexy sequelae and the disabled to recover normal hand functions.
With the continuous development of the field of hand rehabilitation exoskeletons, compared with the traditional rehabilitation therapy, the hand rehabilitation exoskeletons have the characteristics of accurate control, flexible use and the like, and can be designed in an individualized scheme according to the condition of a patient. Relevant research in the field of wearable exoskeleton rehabilitation robots attracts a large number of scholars at home and abroad, and the existing hand exoskeleton rehabilitation devices are roughly divided into the following three types according to mechanisms:
the first type is a fully flexible exoskeleton, which has compact structure, light weight and high adaptability, but cannot provide larger driving torque and does not have the orthopedic function of providing specific motion for a patient;
the second type is a fixed-axis rotating joint exoskeleton, which is simple in structure and widely applied to the design of human body large joints, but cannot meet the motion complexity of human body joints and cannot be well matched with the real motion characteristics of a human body;
the third type is a link mechanism exoskeleton which can fit the motion trail of a human hand, but the number of links is increased along with the increase of fitting points, so that the link mechanism exoskeleton with a good fitting effect is too large in size and is not beneficial to wearing and using of a patient.
